Boundary Wall

glasgowdan

I would buy 20 leylandii and get them in, make sure he sees them too! What an arrogant !!!!!! saying that to you about a bloody rabbit hutch!

Definitely don't move the hutch, it's your garden and you aren't ruining his view. It's your garden and nothing unreasonable.

Look at your deeds again, and if they don't specify anything about the wall then do what you want with it. Do tell the neighbour your plans though, for decency sake and mitigating future sourness.

I wouldn't go for leylandii, but planting a hedge is a viable option.

Once it gets to the required height just make sure to trim it.

Make sure it's not poisonous to them before planting it, then the bunnies can keep it trimmed for you :rotfl:

Sorry, no advice, but it's very odd he wants to look over your garden! Do he currently have a view of rolling countryside and magnificent hills and valleys over your garden?

Unfortunately not!!! we do have woods near us which he just see above the neighbours uncut 20ft Llandai hedge!!!! apart from that we back onto a housing estate and a playing field!! If he's worried about the rabbit hutch sticking 2ft above the brick wall we dread to think what he'll be like when we apply for planning permission to build over the garage!!! If all else fails he will get a 2m tall legally allowed fence erected down the side of our garden and he can stick that where the sun don't shine;)

I am concerned the rabbits will plummet screaming to their deaths. Nevertheless, a neighbour demanding to be able to see into my garden would have me reaching for a solid 15 foot fence of rabbits.

As far as planning goes, I am told by a buddy who works for planning in the council, you need planning permission to erect a fixed structure like a fence over one metre. You can grow a hedge up to 2 metres although the mechanisms for policing infractions of this are pretty toothless.

Otherwise I think you can pile rabbits up as high as you wish on your own land as long as they arent going to fall on anyone.

You need to look at both sets of land registry plans (you can down load them for a few pounds) and see if it sheds any light on the matter.

Unless you can come to a written agreement with your neighbour I suggest you simply tell your neighbour you plan to erect a fence on your side of the boundary to a reasonable height (say six feet) and leave it up to him to challenge it legally.

The rabbit is safely locked in but has a ramp to his lower quarters, its the guinea pig who has birds eye view in the penthouse!!! They are jokes aside totally safe!!

We can understand disputes can happen but somewhat amazed by his reaction to the fact the top half ie a triangle shape of approx 4ft wide x 2ft high above the brick wall!! nothing exciting ever goes on in our garden so don't know what he thinks he will miss!:rotfl:

We've just been looking again at ours it just mentions an existing 2m wall is in place and our "red" boundary line is penned on top of it. Didn't realise we could get hold of a copy of his, will give this a go thanks as I don't think he will be forthcoming and has already said it's nothing to do with him.

We have just discussed and had agreed that we would write to him if we did make changes, although he is our neighbour he is actually in another road and we are at the end of a close.

It depends on local planning laws but the default is 1m fences/walls that border a highway and 2m elsewhere. So the OP probably does not need permission to build a 2m fence on his property.

It is very creepy him wanting to look into your garden, even more so if you have kids.
